Alarm 112

Alarm112 was an ensemble formed in 1995 by Jakob Riis, Steffen Leve Poulsen, Søren Raagaard and Claus Poulsen. Alarm112 worked with sound, noise, soundart, improvisation, multimedia, performance, installation and collaborated with different musicians, writers, composers and visual artists. Anders Elberling became a full member in 1998 on visuals and live video. The ensemble constantly evolved through improvisation, casualism and basic research in sound and noise.
